"Let's get up Zach.." persuaded Brad. Zach just squirms on the bed. "Zach..."
Zach finally sat down and looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand next to him and threw himself down again.
"Zach, why are you sleeping again?? You need to wake up!" urge Brad.
"God by God Brad it's still five in the morning! Let me sleep in a minute. School is also off."
Zach covered his entire body with a blanket. Brad pulled the blanket and threw it in any place. Zach took his pillow and put it on his head.
"Oh come on Zach, I'm tired of waking you up!"
"Then stop waking me up!" Zach looked at Brad annoyed.
"I can't. I was ordered to take you."
"You can say I don't want to. My father would understand." said Zach. Zach covered his face with a pillow again.
"The one who rules me is not your father Zach, but the king." Brad explained. Zach lifted his pillow and looked at Brad.
"I thought your alphabet was my father." murmured Zach.
"Yes, your father. Thas right. But the king of Lycanthrope must also follow. He's higher than your father."
"I guess inside the supreme alpha werewolf." murmured Zach again. Brad rolled his eyeballs.
"Wakeup. Even if you don't want someone coming to pick you up. I guarantee that."
"I want to sleep. Do you know what time I'm sleeping? I'm so sleepy."
Zach prepares to lay his head down but Adrian enters the room and lifts Zach's body. Make Zach sit back.
"Really's?! Serociously?!" squeak Zach.
"It's not just you that slept late last night Zach, all of us. So hurry!" Adrian threw Zach's shirt. Zach grunted in annoyance. Even on his day off he had to get up early. Because of that king. What the hell is he doing?! So annoying!!
Zach lazily put on his shirt. Zach is getting used to sleeping without a shirt. Somehow he always felt hot at night after becoming a werewolf. He did not even feel the slightest cold. Usually early in the morning he was already coiling under his blanket.
"Are you done?" ask Adrian.
"Yes, yes." replied Zach lazily.
Zach took his foot downstairs.
"Well, I didn't think you were awake, Zach."
Zach passed by his mother and took a glass of water and drank it. After quenching his thirst, he continued his path.
"Unfortunately Zach has no choice ma'am and that sucks. Zach go first."
Zach kissed his mother's cheek and then left. His mother just sighed and then shook her head.
Zach's in the woods. There were already a few people there including Kei. Kei talks to Zach and Ian's father and also Zach's beta father.
"Zach is here, your majesty" said Adrian. Kei.
"Thank you Adrian. Good morning Zach." said Kei trying to be friendly.
"Again." replied Zach reluctantly. "What am I being called here for?"
"We'll practice." Kei replied. Kei stood up from his seat and walked over to Zach.
"Practiced? You and me?" ask Zach.
"Zach, your words." scolded his father.
"Ah.. Sorry." Zach bowed.
"It's okay Zach." Kei patted Zach on the shoulder. "You're my friend now. We're the same age anyway. I want you to think of me as a friend, and vice versa."
Zach just kept quiet, didn't say. Kei undressed his sweatshirt and turned into a pure white wolf. Zach looked at the Kei wolf in silence. Kei looked at Zach and growled softly, inviting him to change.
'I know you heard me Zach, change.'
Zach breathed.
'I want to change but still can't control my body to change.'
'Command your body to change, now.'
Zach breathed again.
'If you don't want to, I will order your soul to change.'
Zach looked at Kei with a confused look. Kei's eyeballs, which were black, now turned red. Kei growled violently.
'Wakeup! I, king of Lycanthrope, command you to rise! '
"Rrooaaaaarrgggghhhhh...!!!"
Kei's voice was very loud. Make everyone there look and be quiet in his place. Zach was sure the voice could be heard by the townspeople.
Suddenly Zach's breath was held. He can't breathe. Zach was holding his aching chest. Suddenly the sound of broken bones rang out from all over Zach's body. Zach shouted loudly. His eyes turned pitch-black. Zach turned into a wolf.
Now they face each other. Stare at each other.
'Ba-how could? I guess only my dad can because he's an alpha.'
'And I am king of Lycanthrope Zach, alpha of all alpha. Of course I can. I'll teach you everything I can.'
'What if I lose control?'
'Zach your body is yours. You control it, not the other way around. If you lose control, I will wake you up. Now, fight me.'
'I don't want to hurt anyone, including you.'
'You won't hurt me Zach, trust me. Attack me, with your best attack.'
Zach was still speechless staring at Kei until he finally lowered his body slightly, preparing to jump and attack. Zach growled and jumped. Kei can avoid. Zach tries to bite, claw and even kick, but Kei can avoid all of that.
'Come on Zach, do your best!'
'I did it already!'
'No! It wasn't your best attack.'
'yeah! You forgot the looks. I just became a full-fledged werewolf!'
'I didn't forget Zach, but you are a pure alpha descendant. You have more power than a normal alpha. So attack me with your best attack or I will attack and if that happens, you will be seriously injured.'
'What if I hurt you? Like I did to the kid?'
'You mean, those spies?'
'Yes! I hurt her!'
'You did that to defend yourself so that's natural and your attack won't hurt me like you hurt him, Zach. I'm much stronger than you.'
'Don't make me regret doing this'
'No will'
Zach attacked again. This time Kei replied. Zach's attack does not hit Kei much, while Kei continues to attack Zach as well which overwhelmed Zach. Kei's attacks continuously hit Zach.
Zach crashed far away, hitting the tree and knocking it down. Zach immediately got up and ran towards Kei and attacked him. Again Zach was bitten by Kei and Kei scratches.
Zach's gone limp now. He was not even able to get up.
'Already, enough. I beg. I'm tired and in pain.'
'You won't turn into a spoiled wolf?'
'I just need... Argh... Break.'
'No, no break Zach.'
Kei jumped towards Zach. Zach deftly dodging.
'Shit!!' sumpat Zach's.
Kei kept attacking Zach and Zach was busy dodging.
'Don't dodge, Zach! Fight me!!'
'What's wrong with you?! Why do you want to attack me so badly?!'
'Because I want you to be ready, Zach. Someone will hurt you, soon. And I want that when it comes, you can protect yourself and others. Think of your friends, think of the people you love. Your mother Zach. What if he is wretched because you cannot protect him!!'
'No, I can definitely protect them.'
'Then fight me!'
Zach growled furiously. He attacked Kei. This time he succeeded. All the scratches, punches and even bites hit Kei. They attack each other.
"Alpha, how's this? What if alpha Zach gets hurt?" ask Roland.
"No going to Roland. Zach is very strong and his majesty is unlikely to hurt Zach, they are Orychants. They won't hurt each other."
"Orychant?"
"Yes, pure troops. King lycanthrope, pure alpha offspring and two pure beta breeds. They are invincible. There's been a king of Lycanthrope and pure alpha descent." Zach's father appoints Kei and Zach.
"And.." Zach's father pointed at Ian. "One beta pure offspring."
"Meanwhile, there's only one" Adrian said.
"Yes, beta from Zach. Beta from Zach is beta from pure offspring as well."
"When did Zach look for the alpha beta?"
"I guess after Zach can protect himself."
They all looked back at Zach and Kei fighting with their wolf form. Now Zach is under Kei with Kei's legs holding Zach's wolf body.
"Your highness...!!"
A call disbands Kei's concentration. Zach can escape easily from Kei's clutches. Kei stood up straight and stared angrily at Kian.
"I'm sorry, my majesty, but we arrested two women. They're... "
Not finished Kian told a story, heard the screams of Jason accompanied by Jason's body that crashed far away. They all look. Before long Austin and Moles were thrown.
Kei growled loudly. He turned into a wolf and prepared to attack.
"Don't try to attack us!" livia said firmly.
"You guys... Magicians. What are you guys doing here?!" ask Zach's father who's in front of Livia and Lily.
"We came in peace" said Livia.
"Why did you attack us? We have no business with blacks" Zach's father said. All pack members are approaching.
"Do we look like black clowns? We came in peace but it was your group members who attacked us first. Catch us like we're criminals! It sucks." Lily snorted in annoyance. Zach's father looked at Jason and Austin in turn. They both bowed.
"Sorry alpha, but they look suspicious" Jason said.
"What did you say?!" lily looked very upset.
"Lily, stop. We came in peace. We want to meet Kei, king of Lycanthrope. We carry messages from the chosen ones."
"Leader of the white?" ask Zach's father.
"You.." Zach's father noticed the bracelet. "Young elder, knirer. Don't we? Your bracelet's green."
"It seems you know a lot about Elder." guess Livia.
"Of course, we have a friend of an old Elder" replied Zach's father.
"Now you know who we are. Can we meet your king?" ask Livia.
"Give proof if you are indeed the messenger of the chosen one" said Ian who had been silently watching.
Livia sighed and opened her bag. He pulled out a letter. Jason took the letter and handed it to Ian. Ian looked at Kei who was still a wolf. Kei nodded. Ian opened the letter.
Dearest Kei, sweet sister.
I sent this letter as a sign of my proof that the two of them were my messengers. I know for a fact Ian will ask for proof. He is not only handsome but also intelligent. In this letter there is a stamp. The chosen seal and rest easy, the seal will not be forged because it uses my blood.
So please, trust the two of them, Livia and Lily. They were indeed young Elders, but they were highly trained and talented. I'm sure they'll help you. I'm sorry for not being able to help you this time sweet sister. Because if I help you, things will get messed up. So trust them. You are the greatest Lycanthrope king I have ever known and will always be.
Warm regards, dear,
Bian
Ian closed the letter. Before, he had already seen the stamp. The exact same seal as the chosen stamp he had seen.
"They were the chosen messengers" Ian said at last. Livi and Lily breathed a sigh of relief. They were really tired if they had to fight again.
"So... Can we meet the king?" ask Livia. Kei turned into a human form again.
"I am King of Lycanthrope, Kei Lyroso Laros" Kei said as he advanced.
"Whoa... He is very handsome and... Hot." muttered Lily. Livia who heard Lily's mutterings rolled her eyes and looked at Lily in wonder. The conscious Lily stared at by Livia just shrugged her shoulders.
"We've heard that a lot" Jason said casually. Lily who noticed his words was heard bowing her head. Livia cleared her throat.
"Uhm... L am.. I was asked to give something to... Uhm.. Her noble and pure alpha descent" said Livia nervously.
"For Zach too?" ask Kei.
"Zach's? Who's Zach?" Livia's confused.
"Pure descendant alpha."
"Baaahh... Yeah, like that."
"Zach come here." pinta Kei. Zach, who is still a wolf, slowly turns into a human and comes to Kei.
"Oh my goodness why is there another one so handsome and... They are both bare-chested. Aaakhh I can go crazy staring at them constantly." Lily muttered more slowly than before but still, even though Livia did not hear it, the werewolves heard it clearly.
"Then don't look at it." said Jason.
"What?"
"I hear you, you know?" Jason pointed at his ears. "We're werewolves, do you remember? We can hear you, clearly."
"It's none of your business!" sahut Lily's.
"Whoa... You're a strange woman, but why do you smell..." Jason stopped his words. He realized something. No, it's impossible. That's not possible.
'Be nice to her Jason, you'll regret not being nice'
Kei mindlink Jason's. Jason looked at Kei. Kei smiled amusedly at Jason who was dumbfounded.
"So what do you have for me?" ask Kei.
"Hmmm... Can you guys.. Uhm.. Clothes." said Livia.
"Ahh I'm sorry."
Kei picked up the shirt that Moles had brought and put it on. Zach did the same.
"Better?" ask Kei to Livia. Livia nodded.
'But why do they still look so handsome and sexy after wearing clothes? Oh my God, Livia, wake up!'
Livia hit him on the head and cursed him.
"Are you okay?" ask Kei. Livia cleared her throat and took her breath.
"I'm Good." Livia tried to smile. "It."
Livia handed over a purple ball-shaped crystal.
"You want the king to see the future with that crystal ball?" ask Roland.
"The function of the ball is not like a crystal ball. It was a crystal..."
"Werewolf" said Zach's father cutting Livia's words.
"It seems you know about this crystal?"
"certainly know. The crystal had caused a lot of trouble and should have been confined to the Moon goddess temple. Why is the crystal here?"
"Someone stole this crystal. We just picked it up from a pack of werewolves, not without difficulty of course."
"So you mean, that werewolf pack that took it?"
"We don't think so. Many members of their pack do not know the existence of the crystal in their pack. So our guess is, the crystal was deposited in that pack."
"Pack what are you talking about?" ask Kei.
"In this world there are three packs that are large enough territory" said Livia.
"Three packs." muttered Zach's father. "Moon Lykort, Moon Sykort and..."
"Bycort. Pack the darkness." continued Kei.
"But it's very dangerous there. How did you get out?"
"I told you, not without difficulty" said Livia.
"Then, why did you hand this crystal over to me?"
"The chosen one said, this crystal must be put back in the temple of the Moon Goddess and the one who can do so without harming her is the king of Lycanthrope."
"I? Isn't Bian able to get in there? Why should I?"
"Because the chosen one is in a state-"
"Lily." scolds Livia. Lily lowered.
"What's wrong? What happened to Bian?"
"Not to worry. The white people will solve the chosen problem, whatever it is. The most important thing now is that crystal, you must hold it noble."
"But... What crystal is that?" ask Zach.
"A crystal that can kill a pure-bred werewolf."
Everyone looked over and looked at Zach's father.
"What's? What do you mean? I think this crystal contains a rare wolfsbane that can kill all the werewolves in the world" Kei said confusedly.
"Not all that is noble, just pure descent. You, Zach, me and my pack and your dad's pack. We are pure hereditary packs. The world's first werewolf pack. And that crystal, it's gonna kill us."
"What about the other pack?" ask Ian.
"They just feel pain but won't get killed. Inside the crystal was a rare wolfsbane that was the only one left in the world. All have been destroyed. That rare wolfsbane killed our pack, a long time ago. Makes us into a small, isolated pack."
"I'll keep it. And thank you for taking it and handing it to us." Kei told Livia and Lily.
"We're just doing our job, your honor. And as for pure-bred alpha, we were ordered to give this."
Livia handed me a necklace. Kei took the necklace and was surprised. It was the necklace Bian had given him and taken by Mayes, the leader of the blacks.
"I-this is..." Kei was still staring at the necklace. "This is for Zach?"
Livia nodded. "Yes, that's for pure alpha descent. The chosen one said, it will help him."
"Very helpful." Kei smiled. Kei faces Zach. "Here, put on this necklace. Help him put on this necklace, Adrian."
Adrian nodded and put the necklace around Zach's neck. Zach's got that necklace.
"What's this necklace?" ask Zach.
"The selected gift barrel. That necklace helped me once and now it will help you, control your great power."
"What.. That'll work?"
"Sure, and never let go of it before you're ready" Kei said. Zach nodded.
"Uhm.. Can we rest in this city? We're too tired to fight and run" Livia said.
"Of course you can, right alpha?"
"Of course, your honor." Zach's father smiled. "You've done all this for us. At least that's all we can do to get back at him. Be rested. We're glad you're here."
"Thank you" said Livia.
"Abkkhh...!!!" Zach suddenly shouted. He shook his head and covered his ears.
"What's up Zach?" ask Kei wonder.
"There's someone screaming. My ears hurt a lot."
"Yells? Who?"
"I don't know! Didn't you hear it?! The sound is loud." said Zach.
"We didn't hear anything Zach" Zach's father said.
"That's impossible. That voice... Aaakkh... Hear it? The man shouted again. It sucks!" Zach rubbed his ears.
"Zach, concentrate. You can tell where that guy is. Close your eyes. Listen to his voice." pinta Kei.
Zach according. He closed his eyes and listened to the voice.
"The boy" said Zach.
"That kid?" everyone stared at Zach in wonder.
"That kid! Those spies. I need to get to Daryl's. Daryl's gonna be in trouble. L'm... I meani... I'll be back."
Zach runs towards Daryl's house.
"Adrian, Brad and Austin, follow Zach and report to me what's going on" Zach's father ordered. Adrian, Brad and Austin nodded and ran after Zach.
'Kei, did you hear the voice that alpha Zach meant?' ask Ian through alpha and beta special mindlinks.
'No Ian, I didn't hear anything. What could this be...'
'The link between alpha and beta. Means those spies...'
'Beta Zach's. Yeah, right Ian and this is gonna be very complicated.'
Kei and Ian stared at each other in silence. Zach got the beta from the enemy pack, that was beyond their expectations.
